The simple answer is YES, the law is on your side, the Consumer Credit Act 1974 was established to protect consumers like you and I. In simple terms, if you have been charged for a policy that was mis-sold in any way shape or form we can help to re-claim the money that is rightfully yours.

When you were sold the policy the advisor should have made sure the payment protection insurance was appropriate for your circumstances at the time the advice was given.

Please check below to see if any are applicable to you:

• You were told you had to take out PPI or you would not get the loan
• You were self employed or unemployed at the time of the loan
• You felt pressured into taking the PPI
• You paid off your loan early and never got a PPI refunded
• You were told with PPI you had a better chance of being accepted for the loan
• You were lead to believe that the PPI policy was compulsory
• You increased or topped up your loan and the PPI was added automatically

If you are not sure if you qualify, simply call us on 0844 744 2668 or fill in the quick apply to receive a no-obligation telephone call from one of our expert advisors.

A credit agreement is the contract that you sign after you apply for a card, loan or hire purchase, which forms the basis of your agreement with the Bank or Lender.

The Consumer Credit Act is a piece of regulatory legislation which was designed to help regulate the consumer credit market.

The Consumer Credit Act requires all banks/lenders of any amount usually between £50 and £25,000 to include certain points in their credit agreements. Here are just a few examples of why agreements can be challenged....



• Non provision of prescribed terms - The Lender did not include in the agreement all of the information they were required to provide


• Inappropriate execution of agreement - The Lender did not provide an Agreement in the format allowing correct execution.


• Miscalculation of APR's or the total amount repayable - The Lender did not use the correct method to calculate the Interest rate or the total amount repayable


• Non provision of relevant documentation post agreement - The Lender is unable or unwilling to provide copies of the original signed agreement and supplementary documentation


• Non disclosure of commissions or fees - The Lender did not disclose all of the commissions and fees they paid or received in connection with the agreement


• Mis-selling on ancillary products - The Lender inappropriately included an ancillary product with the Credit Agreement, in breach of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

If any of the above applies to your agreement, then the banks/lenders are misleading you as a consumer, so you can challenge the validity of these agreements.

Credit agreements support financial products including credit cards, store cards, secured loans, unsecured loans, deferred loans, consolidation loans and hire purchase agreements.

We would also encourage you to investigate any agreements where you are paying Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) to cover your repayments. The PPI cover may have been mis-sold to you or applied incorrectly. In that case, you may be able to claim back some or all of the payments that you have made.

We break the claims process down into 2 sections: review and legal auditing.

During the review stage, we will help you understand how we can help you, how much it costs, and answer any questions that you might have.

If you decide to proceed with a claim, then we pass you to our legal team who (with your permission) can access your credit file to find the details of the credit agreements you wish challenge.

The legal team then starts working on your behalf to win your claim.

Our review fee is only £249.99. This payment covers any administration and processing costs for an unlimited amount of claims, but that's not just for you but for every member of your household.

Once we have been successful with your claim, we will charge you 10% of the total amount paid to you in full and final settlement of the claim made against the Bank/Lender.

Unlike other companies who will charge you per claim PLUS up to 40% of the compensation, we aim to keep our costs as low as possible.

The initial review stage takes 14 days. The rest depends on the exact nature of your credit agreement with your Lender.

We aim to recover the maximum amount possible for you, so please allow anything from 4 weeks to 6 months.

Yes, this claims process is absolutely 100% legal, and we are extremely careful to abide by all our legal and regulatory requirements.

Yes this is totally ethical. As a consumer, if you make a mistake e.g. miss a payment, then you're Bank or Lender will apply charges to you.

Charges are applied to consumer's accounts every day for simple errors. If your Bank or Lender penalise you when you make a mistake, why shouldn't you penalise them when they make a mistake?

Legally Banks or Lenders are not allowed to apply negative marks to your credit file if you enforce your legal rights and challenge your payment protection insurance policy.

Our review fee is only £249.99. This payment covers any administration and processing costs for an unlimited amount of claims, but that's not just for you but for every member of your household.

Once we have been successful with your claim, we will charge you 10% of the total amount paid to you in full and final settlement of the claim made against the Bank/Lender.

Unlike other companies who will charge you per claim PLUS up to 40% of the compensation, we aim to keep our costs as low as possible.

After you pay your review fee you have a 14 day 'cooling off' period. Inside this period you are entitled to cancel your review and receive a refund in full.

After this time, you can still change your mind, but there may be some fees/costs due for the work carried out on the claim.

The law was changed in 2006 when the government changed the way in which aspects of the 1974 Act worked. This change in the law came into effect in April 2007. However, the change in the law applies to credit agreements after April 2007.

This updated the Act to become the Consumer Credit Act 2006. Lenders and banks will always have to include the same points in their credit agreements, and these will always have to be accurate, to prevent misleading consumers.

Banks and lenders have finally realised their mistake, and are frantically re-writing their credit agreements to make them compliant with the Consumer Credit Act.

Yes, it is possible to do this yourself; you do not need to use a claims management company. However, the process can be quite time consuming and some consumers do not have the time to follow the process up.

We encourage you to explore all of your options before you decide to use a claims management company, but the bottom line is that we are good at what we do, we have the time to assign to you and your claim and we can offer you an amazing service at a realistic price.

All you have to do is make a small payment and sign a form, giving us to access your credit file in order for us to review you credit history, and let us do all the work for you, thus saving you the time.

This is a common misconception, we are not exploiting a loophole in the law, we are here to help consumers re-claim mis-sold policies that they end up paying hundreds sometimes thousands or pounds for.

Banks and lenders have also made serious mistakes with the way that they execute their credit agreements, which in essence have made these agreements legally unenforceable. They have not always followed the regulatory legislation.

We are simply using the correct procedures to legally challenge the Banks and Lenders. Essentially were using the law that is put in place to protect you.

At Tucan Claims we strive to ensure that we put the "customer" first, and to make sure we carry out work on your behalf with the care and attention it deserves.
